* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consesus of the show is that it's far from terrible but it's not well regarded when you compare it to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the]] [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown other]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman shows]] that aired on Kids' WB at the time. It has some interesting action and funny moments but they're not on par with the overall ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. The fact that it's a DarkerAndEdgier take on the franchise focusing on future action-oriented descendants of the characters doesn't help.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: The Mexican Spanish dub deserves a special mention: Traditionally, Warner Bros. tends to dub almost all their animated, non-WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes-related series from the 90s to this date into Latin American Spanish in UsefulNotes/{{Venezuela}} since it's cheaper to dub there than in UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}. This series[[note]]Along with ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', albeit that series was dubbed in Mexico due for [[RealitySubtext political reasons involving the late Hugo Chavez in the 2000s]][[/note]] is one the few modern animated ones dubbed by Mexican voice actors, rather than Venezuelan ones, even if Warners [[LoopholeAbuse could invoke the fact the Loonatics are descendants of the original Looney Tunes just to avoid dubbing the series in Mexico]]. The reason for not dubbing the series in Venezuela could be the criticism the company received from Spanish-speaking fans about how the original ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' were dubbed by Venezuelans in both ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' and some few modern shorts.

* EpilepticTrees: The first season of the show is almost completely divorced from rest of the ''Looney Tunes'' franchise, with the Loonatics themselves feeling out of place in a world that doesn't match their aesthetic. Additionally, any references to the classic shorts are few and feel like they were forced into the script. Considering this, it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that the show was first conceived as a completely original project but had the ''Looney Tunes'' branding forced onto it by network executives.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The whole Loonatics team seems to suffer from this. "The Comet Cometh" even goes through the trouble of showing every member's varied pre-Loonatics backstory (Ace was a stunt double, Lexi was a university cheerleader hopeful, Duck was an egotistical pool boy, Tech was a university scientist, Slam was a wrestling heel, and Rev was a food delivery guy)... most of which doesn't really connect to the present-day story in any meaningful way other than expositing on their skills and motivations. Most egregiously, we don't even get a full origin story of how they banded together under Zadavia and made the transition from civilians to superheroes. The potential for these characters were there, but the writers didn`t tap into it.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: In two different directions.
** People who thought the idea of redesigning the Looney Tunes as action heroes had promise were put off by the show's over-reliance on OriginalGeneration characters. The first season in particular was all original characters, with the only Looney Tunes characters present at all being the main six. Season two introduced more Looney Tunes characters like Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, and Marvin the Martian, but still tended to rely heavily on original generation characters.
** People who thought the series was actually a decent action/adventure show usually argue that including the Looney Tunes at all was a mistake and would have preferred all original characters and a focus on action instead of comedy.
** [[spoiler: Danger Duck’s back story is a wasted plot and character arc. Orphan Duck tricked his pal to get adopted and obviously feels guilty about it and feels he drove him to villainy.]] Many fans feel this could have been a character arc with some deep, and real development for Duck and Pinkster.
** [[spoiler: Heck, the Pinkster character! They could have made him a good guy who was robbed of his chance at a happy home and could have had proper villainous motivation. What do they do? They just make him a jerk from childhood and removed any chance of making him a complex villain.]]
** Also, this is a ''Looney Tunes'' adaptation set in a sci-fi future with a focus on superheroes. Why ''couldn't'' they have done a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers''?
